1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Overview CRT

Computed radiographic (CR) testing are very similar to film-based systems, but instead of film, a photostimulable
phosphor plate (CRT film) is used. These flexible plates are 1 mm thick and are coated with europium activated
fluorohalide compounds in crystalline formation embedded in organic binding material. When the plate is exposed to
ionizing radiation, photostimulable phosphor stores the latent image. When the plate is scanned with a red laser beam,
stored energy is released as visible light. The emitted light is detected by a photomultiplier tube and converted to
electric signals. These electrical signals are processed and converted to a digital image. The stored information on the
plates can be erased by exposing it to room-level fluorescent light, and then these plates can be reused. Compared to
films, CR images are of good quality.
Some advantages of the CRT are:
(1) The same plate (film) can be used again and again
(2) It does not require a dark room and developing chemicals
(3) The produced image is digital and can be stored and manipulated electronically
(4) These images have greater dynamic range, wider exposure latitude and reduced patient exposure.
(5) Can adjust density and contractor for review.
(6) Reduce shooting time to 70% compare with conventional film. (See below)
(7) Quickly scan film.
.

1.2 Purpose

Demonstration the new RT technique –CRT to apply for Gallaf project in order to meet project specification
requirement and code standard.
Reduce testing time compare with conventional RT.

6 CONCLUSION
With CRT, shooting time reduce to 90% (reduce 10 times) compare with conventional RT but Sensitivity still meet
requirement of code and project specification.
